Full Version: Bumper conversion
Hi, what do I need to do to convert a 1976 2.0 rubber bumper (USA spec) car to chrome or painted bumpers? Does the 1975/6 Euro specification cars have steel bumpers as standard and where can I find pictures of the front and rear of of the Euro spec cars. Any information help, thanks.
Here's a whole How To thread

BTW you should have asked this in the Garage, this is actually blasphemy in this forum as it's not original.
But since you're a newbie we'll let it slide.

Euro 75-76 cars had the rubber bumpers (BUBs) but no US style bumper shocks. The BUBs attached in the same manner as the 70-74 cars (4 bolts each bumper).

Brilliant, thanks and I'll take your advice and be more careful where I post next time. Kind regards, not so 'Puzzled' now.

Hi, thanks for the information, what a great forum, I should have joined earlier and saved some sleepless nights. Kind regards, not so 'Puzzled' now.
